Thermohydraulic, Exergetic, and Environmental Assessment of Water-Based Nanofluids in Plate Heat Exchangers
Nanofluid-cooled plate heat exchangers (PHEs) have strong potential to improve thermal system performance, but they often incur substantial pressure-drop penalties and are affected by uncertainties in the underlying correlations. I built a steady-state numerical model of a counter-current PHE in an ammonia heat-pump ap...
